L. D. SANTEE

Christ

L. D. SANTEE

CHRIST stands so near in every time of sorrow, To strengthen day by day, Safe in his care, I fear no coming morrow, He is “the life, the way;” Fears and temptations, howsoe’er insistent, Through him, are overthrown: He is a Saviour near, and not far distant, My willing heart, his throne.
Loyal to him, through every passing hour, In every time and place, Kept from all sin by his almighty power, Rejoicing in his grace, So would I live through all time’s changing weather, Through pathways bright or dim, I and my Saviour journeying together, Living alone for him.
Welcome the way if Jesus walk beside me With pleased, approving face, Welcome the burdens; whatso’er betide me Is but a means of grace. Do what thou wilt to mold me to thy pleasure, O blessed Lamb of God! Heap thou of hardship yet another measure Where thy dear feet have trod.
If my feet bleed from sharp stones on the mountain, Thy footsteps went before; They’ll rest at last beside life’s living fountain, The toilsome journey o’er. Until the time when all the saints shall gather In the bright world above, Guide and protect and shield me, O my Father, And lead me by thy love.
Moline, Ill.
